I have a question as to whether we are actually limited by what we would consider to be our 5 censory inputs on the or whether there is potentially other senses that we, as humanity as a whole, do not generally recognize, and maybe undeveloped, or simply underdeveloped, due to the general teaching mainframes that we experience what during our upbringings. He mentioned the ability to measure blood chemistry, but most human beings can sense whether their blood sugar is lower high or not they can absolutely tell whether they are low or high in sodium, or high or low in water intake, it just takes some degree of knowledge as to what those inputs feel like, within their body. We have absolutely, in my understanding, a significant amount more of a sensory input than we give credit to falma it just requires a degree of knowledge that we are not taught about the same way we are taught about responding to visual or auditory stimuli, being the main to, and it is not nearly as directly obvious as our tactile stimuli

If DNA creates life forms to fill niches (problem space) and in the process creates a more complex niche (Scaling) as well as more observers, so in turn it can create more complex life forms to fill the new niche, adding more observers than we live in an intelligent system.

About 15 minutes, letting go of predictive processes, sounds like what they're doing with large language models. 16 minutes, and levels and dimensions, understanding not just the static phase but, the movement as well. If you really want to be predictive, motion has to be part of the entire structure under flex. 30 minutes, whose flying the glider? 31 minutes state, I think refers to understanding the motion of a living thing at every independent point through its movement in relation to its environment. Don't mind me, just commenting as I go, Thank you both very much for allowing us to follow along on this exploration Michael and Carlos. It really sounds like the parameters of morphological space and the ability to use and manipulate this space in a well, defined and cautious manner so like ai we don't create something we won't be able to control in a safe manner.

"Who's flying the glider" - I'd say the dual relationship between glider and environment is what is flying it. There's no single "controller", the "flying" is the emerging observation of the relationship between the two.

I’ve met many of the entities that are running these systems within ourselves. They are beautiful magical entities, and they want to serve us as best as they can as long as we honor/love them and honor/love ourselves. There is a meta-consciousness inside our self. We can access it in a beautiful relationship with, and that will relax our whole system and make it move more in harmony. We have music and make musical instruments because that’s probably closer to the true nature of what we are. Vibrating harmonic Waves of energy. When different chords or parts of ourselves are disconnected and not being retuned for the system, that’s when we experience disease, and suffering

@S.G.Wallner Год назад

Observer dependent computation!?!? I'm in! I've been struggling to articulate why I believe there is no objective information out there in the physicality of the external world. I bet this will help. Edit: Carlos, in your conceptions, do you think about a difference between "observer dependent" and "subjectivity dependent"? Is there any difference beyond semantics? For some reason I lean toward subjectivity because it feels more neutral. Edit 2. The anecdote about empirically training the weather was mind blowing. It's hard to realize that we can or should get up from the armchair sometimes. I wonder why ML is hesitant about going to the same lengths for spirit or maybe soul?

@sethrenville798 Год назад

I think its worth drawing attention to the fact that, inherently, all our experiences are subjective, and even if beings can agree that certain things happen within certain parameters, That's still subjective, with the Parameters, as well as the 3 special dimensions plus 1 dimension of perceived linear time. Beyond that,, the only thing that could truly be objective would be the everything many spiritual traditions define as the creator, which is, functionally speaking, identical to nothingness, as, in order to be aware of anything, we must percieve the thing as lacking the opposite of the qualia we are experiencing, as that dichotomy is what allows us to experience anything in a meaningful way. Since that creator would necessarily contain all opposites, it is not even able to be experienced. That's why I think it chortle to manifest within existence, which I think is a necessary quality of consciousness anyways, as, Since consciousness is defined by having experience, conscious being were to cease to have experience, it would no longer be classified as conscious

Woooow. Beautiful and totally cutting-edge stuff!! Totally love this guy!! A bit of a random thought, but doesn´t it seem like the universe might be building a model of itself through the information picked up and integrated by each one of the organisms it has ever created? There seems to be an exploratory drive, in the way it develops different types of receptors to populate the boundaries between the self (i.e, the order?) and the non-self (i.e., the caos?), and in the way in which the same information can be integrated into infinite forms (i.e., an ant has a very different integrated representation of a photon than that of a human...). If it is really building a model of itself, we could maybe infer that no life, not even that of the mosquito that I ruthlessly killed the other day, is meaningless, for they all contribute to building the ultimate model.... Did I maybe smoke too much weed? heheheh

@charlescawley9923 6 месяцев назад

Recognition of causality requires a computation. Lifting time references, we compare before with after. Where qualities or the nature of things remain the same, we recognise the context of change. A thrown brick causes a window to break. Before: one sheet of glass. After: many shards, each with the same qualities of part of that sheet. We must lift time references to be able to compare before with after while accepting the validity of contradiction. (Necessary to be able to reason). The process of lifting time references is key to the creation of consciousness. (Glider- "not a real object but a consistent physiological state"). He appears to complicate what is quite simple. A real object does not have to be physical. Everything is part of reality, even the immaterial. Putting up divisions creates unnecessary problems to understanding

@VperVendetta1992 10 месяцев назад

His idea of the network of cognitive agents interacting with one another in a input-process-output strategy is very similar to Hoffman's model of conscious agents interacting in a vast social network and creating bigger conscious agents via their interactions. Hoffman's agents are out of space and time and at the base level they generate the virtual interface of space-time with its subatomic particles, while Levin's are a mathematical modelling of biological cells. But considering the fractal nature of the conscious agents, I would infer that cells are what higher level, more complex conscious agents look like in the space-time virtual interface. This means that a human being (or any plant or animal) is generated by the social interaction of billions of small conscious agents, each one not realizing they are contributing to the existence of a higher level conscious being. So it's not crazy to think that we ourselves, via our social interactions between other human beings, animals and plants, are contributing to the existence of a higher level conscious being, which sees us as nothing but microscopic cells that are part of its body. Which is exactly what all religions have always said.

I think the term is in the sense of it being possible to "perceive" multiple different things as being computed, or to "use" a single given process as a way to compute different things, depending on perspective. So in that sense I think polycomputing would be better than polyprocessing. Not sure if was clear at all : p

Hello Carlos, I really appreciate these videos and have watched many at this point. I just thought that I would raise a topic which might be a bit forward. When I first found this channel, I was off-put by seeing "the truth" in the podcast name. I noticed that you had good guests and eventually pushed past that. I'm not suggesting that you change the name just because of my little comment, but maybe this is something to think about. I'm putting this in the comment section so that maybe others can contribute, tell me it doesn't matter, whatever. It's not that I don't like truth, it's that people throw the word around too casually. Also, this podcast is often not claiming to have "the truth" but is instead "striving to the truth." Many of your guests are not claiming to have the truth, but just putting forward their interesting, yet unproved, ideas.

@Achrononmaster Год назад

@7:20 nice try. But no cigar. If you want computation to be in the realm of mathematics then it has to be formally defined. So cannot be observer dependent. It can be axiom dependent. Bringing an observer into the frame is just saying some process may look like a computation to them or not, when they compare their observations against axioms. That could be useful for things like sociology of science, but it is not science. If you stick to clear observer free definitions you won't go wrong unless your logic sucks.

@Achrononmaster Год назад

Not entirely sure, but I suspect Levin and others don't understand relativity and general convariance. In special and general relativity there is no conscious or sentient observer. "The observer" refers only to a spatiotemporal reference frame. There is no concept of any 'being" involved. "The observer" could be empty space.

Nothing like objective reality that you can measure, the moment you measure is the moment you creat a cut, and it’s only through that apparatus cut that we can measure at the quantum level.
